PLEASE NOTE: This schedule is subject to change.


The United Magician’s Association will be hosting the Magic Stage again this Season, (Thursday through Sunday) September 20th – 23rd.  Close up and walk around performances will run continuously, while stage performances will run back to back with as little down time on stage as possible.  Single routines and MC bits will fill in between shows to keep them scheduled to start on the hour and half-hour. Show material will mature as the day progresses.  Thus, most Children Shows will be earlier in the day, and the late evening shows will be more appropriate for Teens, Young Adults and the General Public.

 

Due to un-predictabilities, set performer schedules are difficult. Performers will be listed under general times, and will sign-in their time slot after arriving on site.
